The German manufacturer that likes a bit of peace from its PC hardware is showcasing some new products at its Gamescom booth. In particular, it’s showing off a couple of PC cases, a further look at its CPU coolers introduced at Computex, and displaying its range of new peripherals.

The cases consist of the Light Base 500 LX and Light Base 500, a new model from its 900/600 models. With a design intended for optimal cooling of your hardware, the Pure Loop 3 LX and Loop 3 are also included to achieve this with their cooling capacity for your CPU.

It will also be displaying its new Dark Perk mice, which we previewed a couple of months ago. You can also see it’s keyboards that came out first, and we got to review both the Dark Mount and Light Mount models. You can find the full press release and product photos just below.
